The Tragedy of

To Mantua, with my letters to thy lord. 14

Jul. Love, give me strength! and strength shall help afford.
Farewell, dear father! Exeunt.


Scene Two

[Hall in Capulet's House]

Enter Father Capulet, Mother, Nurse, and Serving-men, two or three.

Cap. So many guests invite as here are writ.
[Exit Servant.]
Sirrah, go hire me twenty cunning cooks.

Sec. Serv. You shall have none ill, sir; for
I'll try if they can lick their fingers. 4

Cap. How canst thou try them so?

Sec. Serv. Marry, sir, 'tis an ill cook that
cannot lick his own fingers: therefore he that
cannot lick his fingers goes not with me. 8

Cap. Go, be gone. [Exit Second Servant.]
We shall be much unfurnish'd for this time.
What! is my daughter gone to Friar Laurence?

Nurse. Ay, forsooth. 12

Cap. Well, he may chance to do some good on her:
A peevish self-will'd harlotry it is.

Nurse. See where she comes from shrift with merry look. 16

Enter Juliet.

Cap. How now, my headstrong! where have you been gadding?

Jul. Where I have learn'd me to repent the sin
Of disobedient opposition

10 unfurnish'd: unprepared
14 peevish: perverse
harlotry: silly wench
